Development Assistance Committee

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) comprises a wide range of actors and partners who build on mutually agreed principles and good practices to improve the effectiveness of development. Some of the words that characterise the DAC are: trust, strategic capacity, networking, problem solving, co-operation and engagement. Yet at the same time, the far-reaching and dynamic nature of its evolving relationships and activities make it difficult to get a complete picture of the DAC’s work.

Today, the DAC comprises 24 members with significant aid programmes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and the European Commission (EC). The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) participate as permanent observers.
